Every Uncanny Automator AI + Automation license (Basic, Plus, and Elite) includes two types of Uncanny Agent usage: monthly usage and Anytime usage. This article explains what each type is, how they refill, how they’re consumed, and how to check your balances.

What is monthly usage?
Monthly usage is an allotment of Uncanny Agent usage that refills every month. If you purchased your license on the 15th, your monthly usage refills on the 15th of every month.
Key things to know:
- Monthly usage does not roll over. Any unused monthly allotment resets when your new cycle begins.
- Your monthly allotment refills automatically. No action is needed.
- Your amount of monthly usage is determined by your license tier (Basic, Plus, or Elite), with higher tiers including more usage.
- Monthly usage is included with all AI + Automation licenses at no additional cost.
Monthly usage is designed for your everyday work with Uncanny Agent—building recipes, drafting content, and surfacing site data. Because it refills every cycle, there’s no need to ration it.
What is Anytime usage?
Anytime usage is the annual allotment included with your AI + Automation license. It’s available for the full duration of your license term and doesn’t reset month to month.
Key things to know:
- Anytime usage is available whenever you need it.
- It’s your reserve for larger projects, seasonal workloads, and busy months.
- Your Anytime allotment is determined by your license tier (Basic, Plus, or Elite), with higher tiers including more usage.
- Anytime usage refills every year on your subscription renewal date.
How usage is consumed
When you use Uncanny Agent, usage is drawn from your monthly usage first. Your Anytime balance is only drawn from after your monthly allotment for the current cycle has been fully used.
This means your Anytime usage is automatically preserved for the moments you genuinely need it—you never have to choose which pool to draw from.
If you do work through your full monthly usage in a given cycle, Uncanny Agent simply continues by drawing on your Anytime balance. When your next monthly cycle begins, your monthly usage refills in full; your Anytime balance carries forward from wherever it stands.
How much usage does my license include?
Each AI + Automation tier—Basic, Plus, and Elite—includes both monthly and Anytime usage, with higher tiers including larger allotments of each. The combined allotments are designed to comfortably cover the overwhelming majority of WordPress site owners and developers.
If your work with Uncanny Agent regularly outpaces your license, higher tiers and usage packs are available from your Automator account.
How to check your balances
You can view your current monthly and Anytime balances at any time:
- Log in to your Automator account at automatorplugin.com/my-account.
- Navigate to the Usage tab.
Your monthly balance display includes the date of your next refill.
What happens at renewal?
When you renew your AI + Automation license, your Anytime usage resets in full for your new license year. Your monthly usage continues refilling on your billing date as normal.
If your license expires, access to Uncanny Agent and any remaining usage ends with it. Renewing restores access.
Which licenses include monthly usage?
Monthly usage is included with all AI + Automation licenses: Basic, Plus, and Elite.
Legacy Automator licenses (automation only) do not include Uncanny Agent or any AI usage. Upgrading from a Legacy license to the equivalent AI + Automation tier costs the difference in license price.
You gain the full allotment of Uncanny Agent usage for your new plan immediately, and it’s valid for 1 year from your upgrade date. Your previous subscription renewal date does not change.
If you received access to Uncanny Agent as part of a promotion, monthly usage is not included.
